United States of America / Re: US naming patterns for married women
« on: Friday 06 June 25 15:24 BST (UK)  »
I may be incorrect here -  but I thought Hilary was a lawyer before her marriage and she used the name Hilary Rodham in that capacity (before marriage). It was therefore her professional name and once married she just added her married surname 'Clinton' to it.  :-\

Lots of women retain their maiden name for profession purposes. I don't think its any sort of naming pattern.

Cavan / Re: Burial Records for Belturbet

Thanks for your helpful reply - yes very familiar with the NLI and Irish Ancestors databases. But that is really interesting that the tendency was not to keep burial records.

There is a complete absences of records for the particular family I am looking for which made we wonder the circumstances of some of the parish records.  The Castletara parish is definitely worth a look. And I had wondered about any records being in local custody.

So slightly different question for you (and others) what do you think would be the youngest age that someone could register a death in Ireland?

Thanks again

Cavan / Burial Records for Belturbet
« on: Thursday 15 May 25 17:59 BST (UK)  »
Hi all,
In general is there an issue with Catholic burial records for the churches in and around Belturbet (Annagh)? There are a number of people I'd like to check on and for example burials for the parishes of Annagh and Drumlane are non-existent.  Is there reason?  Are they still with the church? Have they not survived? Time frame is from about 1880-1900ish.  Generally, this area seems to be badly covered by church records. Do any Cavan researchers know why this is?

I am not looking for civil records I'm good with that it is church records/burial records.

Thanks

Hi Fran

I think so, but don't know definitely. But, that's what it seems to indicate. Also, I'm not sure about Scotland but in England the cost of a 'family plot' was expensive and therefore many many people were buried in a 'common grave' as money was hard to come by. Burial in a 'common grave' still had to be paid for, it was not a 'paupers grave'. The people buried in a common grave were people who all died at roughly the same time.  A grave could hold about 10-12 adults and then closed. But could hold many more if they were infants or children.  In terms of where he died that would not matter (i.e. a hospital or home). I imagine it would have been a financial decision.

Hi,
Trying to find a location of burial  in May 1936, of infant of three month’s of age.
He was born 2 Feb 1936 . His name was Eugene, L, Clarke.
He was buried 13 May 1936 at Lambhill cemetery Glasgow, Scotland.

Thanks

Fran

I don't know if this will help you at all.  I've looked this up on FamilySearch using the Weekly Returns film. Oddly there is no lair or section number given for this child.  It's film Film # 008425587 (page 615)  Register #89009. Looking along the page it does say Common Ground 10

Okay, I can offer up the following information for you - the graveyard was closed before 1933 and landscaped over in the '70s. No known MI's.

I would contact the 'new' church on Clive Road and see what they know. They might have inherited some information.

The Common Room / Re: Age of informant on death certificate in 1888
« on: Wednesday 05 March 25 17:35 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks but not necessary. There is nothing there to suggest her age. The item is still speculative.

It has been and remains a complicated search.
